Shopify Is Leveling Up Your POS Experience

Shopify is making major moves when it comes to visual branding and UI updates and it’s all about making your day-to-day smoother. With these latest enhancements, working on Shopify POS feels more fluid, modern, and fully aligned with your brand.

From login to checkout, your POS now looks as good as it works.

Branded login screen: We’re living in the Experience Economy and all experiences matter. When a customer is walking by the cash and sees an old unbranded POS you are missing an opportunity to enhance that experience.Shopify has said enough of this and now allows you to continue your branding on your POS by adding new functionality to add a logo and custom imagery enhancing your branding in a new light. 

Repositioned navigation: User experience is always on the mind of Shopify and making things more efficient for the end user, so it comes as no surprise that they moved the navigation from the bottom of the POS to the left side that mimics the online store admin giving you more room for interactions with the smart grid and cart.

One-tap access: Picture this, you're scrambling at the cash with people in the line and you just need to get to the Register, Connectivity or Lock screen to handle something quickly. Now these three important items are one click away moving to the bottom left corner of the app making it a smooth transition, removing clicks and time in the middle of a potentially chaotic moment. 

Find draft orders easily: Who loves searching through draft orders? NOBODY! Now you wont groan when you have to look though draft orders and you will breeze through the draft order section with the simplicity of an added search feature for draft orders. 

Tab-specific search results: Before we move on, not only did they make the draft orders searchable, but they also added Tab-specific search results. This will not only make your search faster but the results will populate tailored to the active tab whether you are on the products tab, orders tab or even on the customer tab, think about how much time this will save you.

View more items in the cart: When someone comes in and takes advantage of that last years sale event and has line items on line items on line items you need to view those items to make sure that everything is correct and the big discounts were added, now the cart on your POS will display more line items at once making it easier to ship and/or add discounts to all your line items in an easy to view way. 

Dynamic cart header: It's an average Thursday, there are 5 people in line, the phone keeps ringing, customers are jumping the line to ask you where the sale rack is, the old lady that you're helping keeps asking you what you just said and to top it off you're confused what tab that you are on. Well say goodbye to that scenario, with the Dynamic Cart Header being introduced. Now you can quickly confirm if it is a new order, draft order and the amount of line items in the cart. 

Clear checkout total: Retail is full of multiple things fighting for your attention, be it a group of kids talking too loud beside the cash or too many numbers and items on a POS making it hard to locate the checkout total quickly so you can get someone cashed out? Like many orders, you would see line item prices, the sub-total, potentially a discount amount and the taxes, all while juggling everything retail, but now it is even easier to inform the customer how much total is owed with the addition of the checkout cost displayed right on the checkout button for quick and easy reference. 

Enhance your idle screen with media: Turn Your Idle Screen into a Sales Opportunity. Shopify just rolled out a powerful new POS feature that helps you make the most of every inch of your retail space—even when your tablet isn’t in use. Your idle screen is no longer just dead space. With this update, you can now customize the POS idle screen with your own logos and images, transforming it into a branded, visually engaging experience for your staff and customers. Even better, Shopify has included built-in editing tools, allowing you to adjust the background image opacity for a clean, seamless look that blends perfectly with your store’s aesthetic. Say goodbye to outdated, boring screens from the '90s. Say hello to a smarter, on-brand POS that works even when it’s resting.

Theme your screens with your brand colors: Wait, You Thought That Was It? Think Again. If you thought branding your Shopify POS stopped at the login screen and idle display—oh no, my friend, there’s more. With the latest update, you can now take your in-store branding to the next level by adding accent colors across your POS screens. That means your entire POS setup, from login to checkout, can now reflect your brand’s unique style. The result? A cohesive, consistent, and fully branded retail experience that feels just as polished as your products.

Your Shopify POS just went from functional to fantastic.
